What is Editors' Update?

Editors' Update has evolved from its origins as a quarterly online newsletter to become an online resource center. Content is designed to help editors and other interested parties discover more about the latest developments in journal publishing, policies and initiatives. It also allows us to engage in discussions about various publishing topics in order to better understand the needs of our editors and learn how we can better serve them.[divider]
